In the winter term 2006/2007 the Faculty for Applied Informatics at the University of Augsburg and the Faculties for Informatics at the Technical University Munich and the Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich started an elite study course in Software Engineering. The course, which is managed by the University of Augsburg and supported by the Elite Network of Bavaria, provides students with a rigorous and comprehensive education in the field.
The program is geared towards the top two percent of students in computer science and aims to educate an elite for the leading edge areas of Software Engineering, which is not only able to face the challenges of tomorrow but to be actively involved in the development of tomorrow’s solutions.
This is the first elite course of study in Software Engineering in Germany. Only a small number of students will be affiliated with the program. Post-graduate Students of this course face opportunities for their careers in science or industry, which are hard to achieve otherwise.
Hands-on learning, and a collaborative environment will prepare you to excel in software engineering.
Connect with your classmates and alumni in frequent meetups and get the chance to work with renowned institutions such as MIT or NII.
Each student will have the support of two mentors: a professor from Uni Augsburg, LMU, or TUM and an expert from our industry partners.
The elite program in Software Engineering hosts a special lecture series each semester during the teaching period, featuring guest lectures from scientists at other research institutions who provide insight into current research topics and new concepts in Software Engineering. The lecture series also includes talks from practitioners, offering a complementary perspective on current trends and challenges in Software Engineering practice.
